The university is set to confer this honour upon Enyeama during its upcoming 26th, 27th, and 28th convocation ceremonies.

Enyeama will join the wife of the former minister of defence, Senator Daisy Theophilus Danjuma, and the former vice chairman of ExxonMobil, Mr Udom Inoyo in receiving the awards.

The former Lille star retired from active football in 2018 and has been invested in his private enterprise since.

Enyeama’s exceptional career as a goalkeeper spanned nearly two decades, during which he showcased his talents in various clubs, including Ibom Stars, Enyimba, Iwuanyanwu Nationale, Bnei Yehuda, Hapoel Tel Aviv, Lille, and Maccabi Tel Aviv.

His noteworthy contributions to the Nigerian national team from 2002 until his retirement in 2015 include helping the Super Eagles win the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa – the country’s third and most recent continental triumph.
